Our flight out of Singapore leaves at five to midnight so Family Kiwidutch have opted to spend the afternoon at the Swiss Club Hotel: we can pack, take a nap, swim and eat at the restaurant although not necessarily in that order.

The kids are making the most of the pool and after a group of three little girls come and go, they have the entire pool to themselves.

Eventually they are hungry and we install ourselves in the more casual of the Club’s two restaurants.

Dinner is excellent as usual and I observe that Little Mr is executing his best table manners.

We have ordered his “usual”: plain pasta with no sauce, just a request for cheese that can be added on top.

The meal arrives with the cheese contained in a shot sized glass and a small spoon to distribute it with.

We all know that all of the cheese is going in, this is without doubt, but Little Mr chooses to add it genteelly in small portions, mixing it carefully a tiny bit with the pasta each time, instead of just dumping at all in at the beginning.

This is definitely a decent level of refined. Well done kid, we can take you out and know that your manners will not let you down. Then everyone moves on to thoughts of dessert. The Swiss Club would not be worth it’s name if it did not feature ice-cream, so Mövenpick, it’s national and international flagship brand is a most excellent end to the meal. We have eaten early as not to rush, I have already packed so have time for a second siesta whist the kids pack in one last swim. Soon we head out in the company of our friend “Velvetine” to the airport.
